Alan Lagimodiere and Wab Kinew

Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister has replaced a cabinet minister who quit the inner circle with complaints about her treatment.

Eileen Clarke handled Indigenous relations.

But no sooner did backbencher Alan Lagimodiere replace Clarke, than controversy erupted.

Lagimodiere told a news conference that residential schools were not all bad.

When NDP Leader Wab Kinew volubly objected, the new minister quickly said the schools were designed to eradicate Indigenous culture.
